Daisy Ridley To Star In Martin Campbell-Directed Action Thriller Dedication

Daisy Ridley is set to topline a new action thriller from Casino Royale director Martin Campbell titled Dedication. Highland Film Group announced on Tuesday that the Star Wars star will star in the film, which was written by Dan Gordan and will have Campbell at the helm.

Gemstone Films Ltd., Phil Hunt, Valentin Dimitrov, and Sagiv Diamant will produce the film, with Arianne Fraser and Delphine Perrier executive producing for Highland Film Group along with Gaby Whyte Hart.

“What a thrill to collaborate with a director of Martin Campbell’s pedigree whose eye for big-scale action was on spectacular display in the Bond franchise. Daisy Ridley will perfectly embody the multiple facets of a fallen war hero who is forced into combat mode one last time,” said Highland Film Group CEO Arianne Fraser.

“It’s fantastic to have Martin and Daisy teaming up again for Dedication. Martin is the ideal director to bring Dan Gordon’s complex and electrifying script to life. It’s a riveting story loaded with engaging characters and we look forward to introducing this powerful adventure to our global partners,” added Highland COO Delphine Perrier.

The film is described as follows:

Major Billie Jean Parker (Daisy Ridley), a decorated Marine Corps commander, is relieved of duty after a high-stakes mission in the Philippines results in civilian casualties, despite capturing anarchist leader Omar Romatas. Facing the loss of her career, she visits her dying father, Clyde, a former Marine, who asks her to attend a dedication ceremony for a school building named in his honor. The event takes a deadly turn when Omar Romatas’s vengeful son, Bento, launches an assault, taking hostages. Forced back into combat, Billie Jean sets traps and executes precise strikes to outwit the attackers. Her tactical instincts and ruthless efficiency shift the fight, as she confronts her past and proves her worth in a relentless battle that will define her legacy.
